Day ??? Part 2
Half of the progress I made these couple of days can be sum up as following this tutorial series
I made a character that can move and a bunch of tiles the same way it is explained there.
After that, I spend hours going down a rabbit hole because I wanted two different parallax backgrounds, but the problem is that the inside of the castle didn’t stay inside. Eventually I gave up, but I ended up learning a lot about masking and lights which I'll use later to make some cool effects.
One thing this tutorial doesn't cover in detailed is jumping, you press a button and go up at a certain speed and that's it. Two things that I wanted to add were, acceleration and button pressure, but I can't honestly say that I succeed. It feels good to me but I am afraid that I may have spend so much time playing this game that I got use to my own bad controls, and the code is such a mess that I am too afraid to change anything.
Maybe somebody else can tell me if the controls feel right, If you got a couple of minutes here is a demo of the game.
I made a spider. you can kill it by jumping over it.
And I think that's it. There are a lot of weird pixel issues that I don't know how to solve and I still have to design the rest of the game, so good luck to me and everybody else participating.
Another character in processes that I may scrap.
